ETA2: a) I think that Heather's following the weird convention of most teenage girls in mass media calling their fathers "Daddy." When I was a teenage girl, I always used "Dad," as did most of the teenage girls I knew. I have to wonder how much of a real-world basis calling your father "Daddy" past puberty has. I hope not much, but who knows.

Jeez you guys really did not do the American public school system any favors with that explanation of how word sounds work toward the end of the video.. Let me help you out. 90% of the time, in a 2 syllable word where the first syllable ends in a vowel, if it is followed by a double consanant then it is a short vowel sound (rapper), and if it's a single consanant it's a long vowel sound (raper). So yes donut is pronounced correctly, and so is that name with 2 b's you mentioned.

I actually didn't understand to what the thing about "strength" in the ampoule description referred until reading the above post.

I find it amazing that they're/there/their still has to be covered at the college level. We had a comprehensive unit on homonyms in seventh grade, and even then, it seemed to be way late to cover the subject. Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised, though; my last experience of college-level English was a lit course that demanded four essays total, which everyone really, really struggled to write. We had to take extra time going through the analytical papers on each work we were supposed to read because so many people didn't understand the vocab used in them.

I can't believe I had to watch you slog through that loving horseshit again. Pay attention before you decide to reload mid video next time. Jesus.

GrandHound posted:

That's unfortunate, but I can fully understand why. For all it's good game design and how well written the story is for how immensely subtle is, it's still ungodly levels of punishing for even tiny mistakes and requires a large amount of a willingness to fail multiple times to succeed.

To get back on topic, I still despise the utter bullshit of the subway level. The signs are unclear, the level design is confusing, and it's boring to look at. I was not pleased at all.

This is why we have Let's Plays.

They play and then edit/release it much later. Who knows, they could have beaten the game by now.

How are we 7 episodes in and the plot hasn't started yet?

Hirayuki posted:

It started a few episodes back when Heather ran into that weird lady who went on about witnessing The Beginning. Plus there's the private eye.

a goal (getting home to your father without dying)

Anonymous Zebra posted:

That's what it was. It basically fits the original Team Silent's obsession with horror authors.

My original point was that the complaints about the story are unfounded, since Heather is not actually wandering around Silent Hill, but is actually wandering around her home and is just as confused as the player at this point.

CJacobs posted:

We have an objective, sure, but Douglas has only showed up twice and both times Heather brushed him off and that crazy cult lady barely said anything that could be construed as plot-related to you, the player, before also being brushed off. While Heather is going home to her dad, that's not much of a goal because she already was about to do that before poo poo went off the wall crazy. Now she's running around with guns and mauls and paying it very little mind!

I refuse to believe this because the alternative is way funnier.

You generally become more jaded as you get older. I gotta hype up myself and be mildly sleep deprived to get the intended reaction out of Silent Hill these days.

Kyle and Keith got together to yell at each other about Silent Hill for a video and you guys should watch it maybe?

Mostly I just hope you guys work up the strength to play Homecoming, that game is hilariously stupid and great.

I'm personally waiting for the "Let's play 30 years of Final Fantasy" where they have to complete every game in the main series along with playing side games.

Keith, Kyle, make it happen.

ProfessorBooty posted:

I love the Cube. I still have it in my living room. I'm just saying that because I don't think Kyle has one, which would set him back an extra fifteen bucks if he were to want to grab ED. I mostly use my gamecube for the GBA player nowadays.

You're low on health but you should have plenty of bullets, you might as well at least clear out the hallways so you don't get hit every other trip. Haven't you ever played Bioshock with hints on? Running past every fight isn't the best idea when you're indoors.

In Britishese, "pudding" means "dessert".

This was a good episode.

DWK posted:

Of course pancakes are dessert! You have them with cream, sugar, fruit, chocolate etc. I think the thing is, in Britain, we don't really do the sweet breakfast thing. I look at American cereals and wonder how you all still have teeth.
Whereas, we have a huge full monty every morning and die of heart failure age 35.

Mu. posted:

English pancakes look totally different from American pancakes though, are they even comparable? English pancakes look more like crepes or something. Scotch pancakes look a lot more like American ones, but I don't know if they taste the same.

Hirayuki posted:

They're strictly a dessert food in Japan.

Macaronin and cheese is the best Keith one-liner joke since hotel for dogs. I had to pause the video.

Blood pudding aka black pudding is most definitely for breakfast!

I love american pancakes, sometimes I think I am in the mood for a full on lumberjack breakfast but more often than not that defeats me, and quite soon afterwards I regret my indulgence owing to the lump of what feels like cement in my stomach. bloody tasty though.

Armadillo Tank posted:

So I rewatched the Silent Hill 2 let's play you guys did. About 10 episodes in door opening fatigue began to set in and you guys started to not talk about the game and just talk about anything else. Since you guys hated maria and didn't seem suscpicious about her until episode 13 the hospital part was a drag on fucks-to-give. When the inverted hospital started you could hear 19Letters just kind of sag in misery at going through the hospital he had just finished getting lost in. Up till the hospital you said that you guys like SH2.

I think silent hill fatigue is starting to set in with this game now. You have been ratting on it since the start (unlike SH2), but now it seems more defeated.

I like the let's play, but it seems that the gaps of time between when you actually play the game seem to have a negative affect on your understanding of what is happening and lead to confusion and getting lost.

Also I am going to start following cjacobs for his twitter jokes.

I enjoy the style you guys have, I'm a big fan! I've got to say, it kind of felt at points like you were actively trying not to talk about the game though! I think there was some interesting stuff going on in this episode, but you were both kind of zoned out. I guess if you're still not having much fun with it then I can't blame you really!

CJacobs posted:

Er... come again? I'm not Kyle or Keith!

edit: Last I checked, anyway. Maybe it happened overnight.

Would they be following you at @somethingdumb or simply following you @somethingdumb?

CJacobs posted:

I thought the controller pulsed when you were low on health but if it drains that fast then it probably happens too quick to notice. I will also agree that while it is a cool room with really cool effects, it's kind of a dick move to have it be completely pointless and also kill you.

eating only apples posted:

Of course they didn't, no one playing these games for the first time would even think those numbers were significant. They're far from important and there you go feeling the need to play know-it-all. Good job I guess.

Akratic Method posted:

For all I know you've already played through to the end, but if not, here's how to deal with those crawly guys that are pissing you off around the start of the video: drop beef jerky. I saw it in your inventory; you have 22 of them. Just lay one down, watch them go for it, then smash them with one big swing of the maul.
